Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner is said to have "missed Taylor Swift" more than she missed him, according to an expert - which comes after the former lovers shared a heartwarming embrace on Friday.

The two Taylors dated back in 2009, with their romance kicking off after they met on the set of romantic comedy Valentine's Day.

The couple then shared a brief romance before they split, with Swift's hit Back To December from her album Speak Now rumoured to be about Lautner.

Swift's 2010 album Speak Now was rereleased on Friday, July 7, as Taylor's Version, with the 33-year-old hitmaker leaving fans stunned when she invited her ex-boyfriend Lautner on-stage at her Eras Tour - with the star even enlisting him to star in a music video.

When Swift invited Lautner up on-stage in Kansas City, Missouri, fans were left with their jaws on the floor. First Lautner backflipped down the runway and then he wrapped his arms around Swift as they shared a loving embrace.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, Inbaal Honigman, a celebrity psychic and body language expert, has spoken about the embrace that the two Taylors shared more than 13 years after their romance ended. The expert explained how Lautner clearly missed Swift more than she did him, with Inbaal also touching on their "genuine" and "mutual" affection for each other.

"Taylor and Taylor's eye contact is very engaged and respectful. She lowers her head very slightly to meet his eye, he raises his head enthusiastically to meet hers," Inbaal explains after analysing the photos of the former couple's embrace. "Both their heads lean towards the middle, showing that they're drawn to one another. There are no signs of animosity there."

She added: "Taylor Lautner is leaning in with his whole body, whereas Taylor Swift stands upright, except for her head which is leaning towards her famous ex. This means that boy Taylor missed girl Taylor more than she missed him.

"Their smiles match and are doubtlessly happy. Both show the top row of their perfect teeth, lips stretched in an extremely delighted way. Their eyes narrow so much, that Taylor Lautner's are totally shut. This shows us how their eyes join in with their grins."

Inbaal went on to say that when the famous pair hug, "there are no body parts that get to escape the embrace". She added: "Lautner is squeezing Swift into his arms, and his fingers are shown digging into her shoulder. He's fully committed to the cuddle, and they tightly hold each other into the hug. This shows that the affection is genuine, and it is mutual."
